Depends on what you are towing or carrying. I'm told from diesel owners that you usualy get twice as far on a tank of Diesel compared to Gas.
The difference between the two is quit small. Normal diesel contains less oil than performance diesel. However, when they are tested side by side, no one can tell the difference of the two.
The difference is that diesel is more oily than petrol, and is cheaper to produce.
Both our internal combustion engines but the main difference is that a petrol engine uses spark plugs to ignite the fuel but a diesel engine has no spark plugs but instead uses compression to ignite the fuel. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline/petrol engine. Diesel engines get better fuel mileage, last longer, and have much more torque or pulling power than a petrol engine. The only disadvantage to a diesel is the fact that it is more costly to build than a gasoline engine.
i think they come with 750cca but recomend no less than 850cca if you have any kind of winter weather.
Off road diesel is dyed but otherwise the same as highway diesel. The difference is in the tax. Highway diesel has a road tax on it
Diesel engines need more cranking power than what one battery provides.Diesel engines need more cranking power than what one battery provides.
if you are somewhat mech. capable you can build your own cheaper than trying to buy one
the gvw on a 1977 f250 8600lbs or 8800 heavy truck 10x better truck than they make today
A diesel engine ignites it's fuel through compression and has no spark plugs. A gasoline engine has 1 or 2 spark plugs in each cylinder that fires at a set time and ignites the fuel. A diesel engine typically has much more torque than a gasoline engine and is designed to pull a heavy load. A gasoline engine will accelerate faster than a diesel but the diesel will have much more torque and be able to pull much heavier loads. A diesel engine will last much longer than a gasoline engine as it is built much heavier. Modern diesels are fairly quiet and make almost no more noise than a gas engine especially off idle.
advantages of both are- bio diesel - biodegradable renewable non toxic alternative for diesel. bio diesel is made from any vegetable oil or animal fat diesel - cheaper than bio diesel
Petrol first. it has a lower flash point than diesel.
No. The only difference is a red dye added to off-road diesel to denote non-taxable use.
